THE ORIGINAL ROW. A GROWING MOVEMENT.

DT’s Row began with Dave “DT” Thomas and the CF Skylands community. What started as one local fundraiser is growing into a network of gym-led events united by fitness, teamwork, and service to veterans.

EVENT AT A GLANCE

Host: CF Skylands
Venue: Skylands Stadium
Contact: Dave “DT” Thomas · dt@bigfishfoundation.org

Expect an inclusive, team-centered morning built around rowing, adaptable movements, fundraising, and community. Athletes of different experience and ability levels can participate. The final 2026 workout will be adapted for athlete ability, available equipment, and event logistics.

2025 WORKOUT EXAMPLE — 2026 WORKOUT COMING SOON

The 2025 event used teams of four in a continuous two-hour workout divided into four 30-minute segments. One teammate always rowed, two teammates completed the movement work, and one teammate handled the Jenga challenge before rotating roles.

Segments 1 and 3: six rounds of Dumbbell DT — 12 deadlifts, 9 hang cleans, and 6 shoulder-to-overheads — performed “you go, I go.”

Segments 2 and 4: a “you go, I go” ladder of weighted Ab-Mat sit-ups and burpees to a plate. Rep schemes and loads could be adjusted as needed.

The 2026 framework will preserve the spirit of teamwork and continuous effort while allowing scaling for local logistics and athlete abilities.
